Last night, I hosted a dinner party for close friends where lobster was king.  This was the 2^nd annual “lobsterfest” I’ve held and think it’s a really fun concept that can be executed rather simply.

Friends always offer to bring “something” to my parties, and last night, I decided to take them up on it.  One friend was tasked with bringing potato salad (future post I hope) and another with bringing a few cheeses we could enjoy post-dessert.

I popped a few bottles of bubbly, what could be better with rich lobster?  2 ½ – 3-pound lobsters were boiled using my Boiling Lobster 101 technique, Lemon Butter Cream was quickly prepared and the party was on its way.  Dessert was my Easy Like Sunday Morning Key Lime Pie which is a popular summer dessert that’s easy to prepare using semi-homemade staples.

I urge you to try this type of party that’s both worry-free and very festive.  Your guests will appreciate the luxe meal and you’ll love that it can be put together in a breeze.

Enjoy!
